violin case
Fiddle's protective shell
A violin case is a protective container designed to store and transport a violin.
Cases range from soft fabric bags to rigid shells with fitted interiors that cradle the instrument and bow.
In fiction and film, violin cases are associated with concealing weapons—particularly the Thompson submachine gun during Prohibition: He walked in carrying a violin case, and it wasn't music he was bringing.
